Election of judges and justices.

HJ 6 proposes a constitutional amendment to change Wyoming's method for selecting judges and justices from appointments with retention votes to direct elections. Currently, the governor appoints judges from a list provided by a judicial nominating commission, and they face retention votes in elections. Under this amendment, judges and justices would be elected by voters in general elections for set terms, requiring candidates to file a declaration of intent 3-6 months before the election and face a nonpartisan vote for re-election. A majority vote would retain them for the next term, replacing the current appointment system and judicial nominating commission. The amendment would repeal existing constitutional provisions governing judicial selection and retention.
